Poland - Factors to Watch on July 10
WARSAW, July 10 (Reuters) - Here are news stories, press reports and events to watch which may affect Poland's financial markets on Friday. ALL TIMES GMT (Poland GMT + 2 hours):
BORROWING NEEDS
Poland's borrowing needs this year could exceed the planned level if the situation on the debt market was as difficult as at the start of 2009, Deputy Finance Minister Dominik Radziwill tells daily Rzeczpospolita, but adds the ministry did not expect this to happen.
TAX POLL
Support for the ruling Civic Platform would fall by 12 percentage points to 38 percent if the cabinet decided to hike taxes, a move mulled in the face of the sharp slowdown, a poll conducted by PBS DGA pollster for daily Gazeta Wyborcza shows.
Both opposition parties, the conservative Law and Justice and the Democratic Leftist Alliance would profit by 4 percentage points and could count on 27 and 13 percent, respectively.
JW CONSTRUCTION
Poland's largest homebuilder JW Construction JWCA.WA wants to spend 1 billion zlotys ($313.8 million) on a wind farm in north-west Poland consisting of 100 masts providing 2.3 megawatts each, the company's main shareholder Jozef Wojciechowski was quoted as saying by daily Puls Biznesu.
BUDGET SUPPORT
Poland's government, battling to bring its gaping budget deficit under control during an economic downturn without hiking taxes, said on Thursday the central bank should transfer its 2009 profit to state coffers. [ID:nL9570600]
